A man who allegedly assaulted his wife and was stabbed during the attack is on the loose Tuesday morning in southwest Houston.

The incident began about 7:50 a.m. in the 14900 block of Four Winds Drive near Roberson Road in the Missouri City area, according to the Houston Police Department.

Police said officers were dispatched to the home on an emergency call about an assault in progress. The man, policed said, allegedly attacked his wife. She grabbed a knife and stabbed the man. She escaped the home with her daughter. Both were unhurt.

The man stayed inside the house and refused to come out when officers arrived.

SWAT officers were called to the scene to coax the man outside. Police tried to contact the man but received no response. After several hours they went into the home and discovered the man was gone. He apparently had slipped unnoticed out the back door before police were able to surround the house.

No description of the man was immediately available. Details of his stab wound also were not available.
